Sudheesh C, Varsha L, Sunooj KV, Pillai S. Influence of crystalline properties on starch functionalization from the perspective of various physical modifications: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 280:136059. [PMID: 39341324 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.136059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 09/24/2024] [Accepted: 09/25/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
The relationship between structural properties and functional characteristics of starch remains a hot subject among researchers. The crystalline property is a substantial characteristic of starch granules, undergoing different changes during modification techniques. These changes are closely related to the functional properties of modified starches. Physical modifications are eco-friendly techniques and are widely adopted for starch modifications. Therefore, understanding the impact of changes in crystalline properties during different physical modifications on starch functionality is the ultimate way to improve their industrial utilization. However, the existing literature still lacks the elucidation of changes in functional properties of starch in accordance with its crystalline properties during different physical treatments. Hence, this review summarizes the effects of the most important and widely used physical modifications on starch crystalline properties, highlighting the alterations in various functional properties such as hydration, pasting, gelatinization, and in vitro digestibility resulting from changes in crystalline characteristics in a single comprehensive discussion. Furthermore, the current review gives direction for envisaging the functionalization of starches based on deviations in the crystalline properties during several physical treatments.

Abstract
Using renewable resources for food packaging not only helps reduce our dependence on fossil fuels but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with traditional plastics. Starch has been a hot topic in the field of current research because of its low cost, wide source and good film forming property. However, a comprehensive review in this field is still lacking. Starch-based films offer a promising alternative for sustainable packaging in the food industry. The present paper covers various aspects such as raw material sources, modification methods, and film formation mechanisms. Understanding the physicochemical properties and potential commercial applications is crucial for bridging the gap between research and practical implementation. Finally, the application of starch-based films in the food industry is discussed in detail. Different modifications of starch can improve the mechanical and barrier properties of the films. The addition of active substances to starch-based films can endow them with more functions. Therefore, these factors should be better investigated and optimized in future studies to improve the physicochemical properties and functionality of starch-based films. In summary, this review provides comprehensive information and the latest research progress of starch-based films in the food industry.

Carbohydr Polym 2023; 321:121260. [PMID: 37739518 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Swelling behavior involves the process of starch granules absorbing enough water to swell and increase the viscosity of starch suspension under hydrothermal conditions, making it one of the important aspects in starch research. The changes that starch granules undergo during the swelling process are important factors in predicting their functional properties in food processing. However, the factors that affect starch swelling and how swelling, in turn, affects the texture and digestion characteristics of starch-based foods have not been systematically summarized. Compared to its long chains, the short chains of amylose easily interact with amylopectin chains to inhibit starch swelling. Generally, reducing the swelling of starch could increase the strength of the gel while limiting the accessibility of digestive enzymes to starch chains, resulting in a reduction in starch digestibility. This article aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the mechanism of starch swelling, its influencing factors, and the relationship between swelling and the pasting, gelling, and digestion characteristics of starch. The role of starch swelling in the edible quality and nutritional characteristics of starch-based foods is also discussed, and future research directions for starch swelling are proposed.

Abstract
Heat-moisture treatment (HMT) and annealing are hydrothermal starch modifications. HMT is performed using high temperature and low moisture content range, whereas annealing uses excess of water, a long period of time, and temperature above the glass transition and below the gelatinization temperature. This review focuses on: research advances; the effect of HMT and annealing on starch structure and most important properties; combined modifications; and HMT-starch and annealed-starch applications. Annealing and HMT can be performed together or combined with other modifications. These combinations contribute to new applications in different areas. The annealed and HMT-starches can be used for pasta, candy, bakery products, films, nanocrystals, and nanoparticles. HMT has been studied on starch digestibility and promising data have been reported, due to increased content of slowly digestible and resistant starches. The starch industry is in constant expansion, and modification processes increase its versatility, adapting it for different purposes in food industries.
